§ Mr. DjanoglyTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will publish a copy of the Lester report, referred to in paragraph 21 of the judgment of the Court of Appeal (Criminal Division) in Regina v. Patel, Villiers, Sewell, Hutchinson and Ford Cases 2000 02566, 2000 02589, 2000 02591, 2001 02259 and 2001 03772. [31529]
§ Mr. BoatengI have been asked to reply.
This internal review was made available to—and was overtaken by—the independent investigation carried out by John Rogues into the collection of excise duties (the results of which were published in July 2001 as CM 5239). As a consequence there are no plans to publish it.
